Isn't it simply a case that there is bound to be many different viewpoints, theories, nuances of opinion about why something isn't working and suggestions for how to remedy it compared to when things are going well?? If we're winning and playing good football we're all likely to be in agreement that it is..... errr......quite good and we're happy......Not exactly a recipe for debate is it?
As Doc says - it's perfectly possible to watch the football and enjoy it and have some perspective yet still want to get involved in arguments about what should or shouldn't be done fix things. In some ways coming on a football thread to say "yeah - it's great and I agree with everyone else it's great" is less appealing than wanting to know what others think when things are not so good. Don't get me wrong - it is tiresome reading angry, knee-jerk rants from people wanting to get their frustrations off their chests but you can just skim over those and you soon get to know posters with more considered views.
